It sounds like you need to check your USB controllers through Device Manager as well as reinstalling Yahoo Messenger.

1. Go to Device Manager and verify that there are no yellow exclamation marks or question marks, if there are reinstall them. 2. Test your webcam after this point because one of the USB drivers should be your webcam driver.3. Reinstall Yahoo messenger and test it with your webcam.

By deleting drivers in Device Manager, your computer will attempt to do a reinstall only if your computer needs that driver.

I'm afraid there's no such driver, but please take another look at you webcam closely and try to find any number, could be also a serial number. (On the bottom, top, left, right..) Or you can try to replug your webcam to your PC then maybe Windows can tell you what your device's brand is. (A popup will come and either it will show a name or show it as unidentified) You can also try to let Windows search the internet for the driver automaticly when you plug your webcam. Anyway, If you can give any details about the device, we can find a solution. Hope this helps.

hi westy001, if you are using windows vista home premium or higher and recently gone through windows update, the camera may not work for it. but if you are using windows vista home basic and below, you may use any generic USB jpeg webcam driver. same with any chinese usb jpeg webcams. here is a link where you can get some of the drivers.

PLS. NOTE: I have downloaded drivers from the same site in the past and using the same site techs have tried is very recommended for your computer's safety.

hope this helps, should you have other questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

1. If the interface of the webcam to PC is via USB, use the USB ports at the back of the cpu
2. Try to close other applications in your computer when using webcam
3. If a webcam requires any driver or software for it to work, then try using the lastest software for it.
